MRS Representative.

At an afternoon reception In Wash
ington not long ago the hostess, who
is n Young marion, had number of
friends to assist her 10 receiving. She
is the wife OF q Congressman, and her
assistants were wives of congressman,
and wives of army and navy officers.
There were in all nearly dozen

classes. The young hostess was, per
haps, over jealous III her desire to
promote the ease and social enjoyment
and on the announcement of each
visitor she made The whole round OF
iniroductions with conspicuous for
mality that was quite appalling to all
concerned. 1t was in effect: MRS.

anu SDc tOuttuuto lISut VII
the whole row of aids were named,
each with the official title of her hus.
band AS the afternoon wore away
The repetitions of the titles increased
with the number of visitors, and the
sound of their names prefixed by the
titles became quite awful, and caused
several of the assistants to feel cold
chllls of nervous dread whenever a
visitor appeared. Finally one of them
could endure it no longer, and she
gasped TO another in painful whis-
per:
"Gook heavens il Mrs.-only
wouldn't introduce everybody, and 1t
does seem as If she fairly shouted our
names. She is so terribly distinct,

generals and judges are chasing one
after another wildly through my
brain. | never fully realized before
how perfectly bsurd it is to be called
Mrs. Representatives; but after hear

rnnts ConcornInr suIcIhe.

Of the total suicides in year, over % per cent. occur during the hot months of June, July and August. The melancholy days of autumn, the saddest of the year, aro strangely not condemned to self destruction, yet one would think SO. l figure it out that men drink more in the summer, and consequently they don't sleep well. You will notice that most suiciles occur in the early morning. The testimony always shows that the net nus ben preceded Jy a sleepless night, with con seluent broOiiug over real or imaginary trouble. irishmen rarely commit suicide, That is because they are brought upin uino eases out of ten as Catholics, and have the fear of the future before chem. Americans commit suicide t. avoid disgrace, or while broken up nervously at the end of dehluch. There Is no case on record in this office of negro committing suicide, nor have ever heard or read of one aDywhere--Coroner m GI0Je-D Democrat.

The Swelling of the Oyster.

Oysters, it seems, may be swollen very con- siierably by allowing them to he awhile in water. B this means, Professor aAtwater tells Us, "the body of the oyster acquires such a plunpness and rotundity, and it's bulk and weight are SO increased, as to materially in- crease its selling value.
 Now, the simple oystermnn, ss well as the ursJphisticated customer, has supposed that this swelling or "fat;eningT of the oyster reI- resents un actual gain of flesh and isl. but the professor rudely dizpels this theory by the crushing explanation that the increase of volume Is just what would be expected from the osmose of dialysis. Subjected to this ter ri5yins process five quarts of oysters grow to SIX, but the extra quart Is water and not fat ness. and the dealer 'offers his customers no more nutritive material-iIdesd, q trile leSs- in the six quarts than he would have done in the five quarts if be had not fosted them"
 Lovers Of plump and juicy saddle rocks and other selects will please heed this discovery of the wise man. and act accoriiDsly.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Manufacture of Champagne.

Champagne is a sure cure for the head ache- That may not be your experience, but it is true nevertheless remarked q proni- nent California grape grower and wine dealer, es he talked of the different processes for manufacturing wines. When a fellow goes out to supper. and gets up next morning with big head, you can rest assured that be didn't drink pure champagne. It is not all gold that glitters' neither h 1t all champagne that sparkles. I will put pure champagne against all the medicines of the world as e remedy for neuralgia
 How 40 they make champagrei Well, you must remember that good deal of what is labeled champagne Ia doctored with car boiic acid gas. But the real stuff is made by mixture of ten or dozen different wines male from certain varieties of foreign grapes. The wines are first made separate, each from a separate grape, then they are blended to- gether for taste and bouquet in certain pro portions, well understood by wiremakers. Tue blended wines Rre then bottled and cork e. znd undergo a process of fermentati1n for two years. The bottles are then opened, the saiiment blown of. the wine Is rebo;tlei ant sweetrned with a rock candy siruD il propor- tiln as it is wanted for dry or extra dry. It As then eorlsei up and allowed to stand for SIX months, when it is ready for use.
 No, they don't make bottles in this country strong enough to hold champagne.
